GPT-6.1 Terra fixed all 20 bugs in my app for about $.06 a run GPT-6.1 SOL did the same for $.22 and opus 5.5 for $.78 GPT-6 Luna and Haiku 5.5 cost less but missed bugs in every run
GPT-6.1 Terra: delivering fast and capable computer use at a lower price. GPT-6.1 Terra understands what’s on screen, takes action across apps, writes naturally, and is a more capable model for your whole workday with the efficiency to take on more of it.

No one working on anything serious is using Gemini models. The adoption numbers are because they shoved Gemini in every google search

GPT-6 Luna at medium solved 0 of 30 tries on coding changes over 450 lines. from my testing, on fixes up to 300 lines it solved 17 of 40. at xhigh those went to 10 of 30 and 32 of 40.

GPT-6 Luna at medium often stops before writing any code from my testing, 26 of its 68 failed runs changed no file. 24 wrote up the fix and ended. codex tells it to "persist until the user's intended goal is complete". at xhigh it never stopped early.

when it rains, it pours. told Nikita let’s wait for more. it’s never just one.

i paid for X Premium+ mostly so i don't see ads. now my threads are full of them. it was sold as ad free. that should hold until the subscription ends.

im breaking down where each model wins and fails on my coding tasks. by change size, checks to pass, repo size, how spread out the change is, and how models fail when they miss workloadbench.brenhq.com/gpt…

how i split work across AI models Opus 5.5 orchestrates my agents > Fable 5.2. Fable 5.2 only for arch planning and research since a $200 Claude plan gets about 30 deep tasks a week of Fable.
We've given all Pro, Max, Ultra, and Team users one free full reset, across all models and limits. Use it anytime before December 10 at 2:00PM PT. We recently fixed a few small issues that used more limits than intended, and the Fable resets didn't do much for those of you who'd already hit your weekly limits for all models. While these issues didn't affect everyone, we want to make up for the trouble. You'll find it in Settings > Usage, or at clau.de/reset.

GPT 6.1 Terra at medium solved 3 of 30 tries on big changes. xhigh effort solved 16 from my testing, small fixes went from 60% at medium to 85% at xhigh xhigh costs $0.31 a run against $0.11 at medium enjoy the ugly yellow color

Fable 5.2 streams 3x faster than GPT-6.1 SOL and finished my short code question no sooner
Introducing Claude Fable 5.2 and Claude Mythos 5.2, designed to tackle the most daunting technical challenges. They’re capable collaborators on ambitious projects in many fields, and show improvements in areas like coding, reasoning, and vision.

Claude Fable 5.2 cost about twice what GPT-6 Astra did per run on my quick suite ticket test, $1.59 against $0.78 on bug hunt test they cost about the same, $1.18 against $1.06 to $1.21, and Fable 5.2 was quicker, 1.8 minutes against 2.3
